Using your wireless network, you can stream video and convert it on the fly by using the AirVideo iPhone app and server from In Method. We have installed and tested it using the following software.
Software Used

Click on the Policy tab, and add a new "Inbound traffic policy" by clicking on the green "Plus" symbol.

In the new window "Add new inbound rule", click in the "Port" text box and enter "45631" (without the quotes).

5. Fire up the "App Store" on your iPhone and install AirVideoFree (It is a limited version by as it's free you can test it).

Once installed, open AirVideo and click on "Servers". Click on the "Plus" symbol and then "Specify Address Manually". In the "Location" text box enter your computers name or Fixed IP Address, and hit "Save".

Your computer should now be listed under the Servers window. Click on the tab and it will display all of the shared directories that you previously set up on the AirVideo Server. Browse through your video collection.

I must be missing a very subtle reason that justifies the need for this air video. All my movies live on my home fedora server accessible via web browser. I can just click on any of them from safari on my iPad and they’re immediately watchable

This looks like a terrible solution, I’m sorry. Running a server through a separately installed virtual machine through emulation… That is just asking for trouble. That’s way to much bulk to be worth it. “The easy way” does not describe this process, and I wouldn’t recommend it.

I followed your instructions but it seems there is some strange problem in my setup. Everything installs without problems, but when I try to launch Air Video, I get a cryptic message saying JavaVM Aborting. After that, nothing.

There is a server version of AirVideo for linux. Unsupported tough. Search the forums for help how to set this up on your linux server. I got it to work in my Ubuntu 10.04 by following some posts @ there forum.
